As Murray and Federer emerge onto the court, the Scot seems energetic. He has his racket in hand and is bouncing around. After three previous grand slam finals in which he's never won a set, he looks eager to begin. Federer, meanwhile, looks positively relaxed

The second set is another cagey affair. Only in the final game of the set does Federer unpick Murray with two moments of genius. A deft forehand volley and an audacious backhand sliced volley earn him the second set 7-5

But rain soon begins to fall. The covers are quickly pulled over and, predictably, it's soon announced that the roof will be closed. Murray must be the more thankful for the interlude, even though this match is evenly poised (6-4, 5-7, 1-1)
